The people writing negative reviews didn't grow up in the areas or conditions the series is documenting. If you're from the hood then you know all of this is true and happens far too often. Giving something a bad review when you have no real clue about the content is ridiculous. If you think cops are so good then ask yourself why do police officers call each other "rats". I know many police officers and real life and this story is portraying what actually goes on behind the piercing walls. Bad guys do bad things and other officers either participate or turn a blind eye. If you're that blind to police corruption just go do some research and find out how rampant it is. Just like politicians it's going on in every major city no question.

I noticed another reviewer described this as, ' a Hollywood documentary trying to convince us that cops are corrupt and evil.'

Sorry. This is a show which explains just how corrupt and evil cops really are.

I live in NYC. I've seen cops pull the routines described in this show time and time again for decades. This show is nailing it when it comes to illustrating the truth. There's a great cast here doing stellar work. And as always, Courtney B. Vance is absolutely terrific.

There are a LOT of ostriches reviewing this show. They're deliberately keeping their heads in the sand and demanding to be allowed to be willfully ignorant to the systemic racism happening all around us but especially in big inner city locals where cops who are supposed to protect us ALL are being allowed to break the very rules meant to do just that.

The setting of the demolished neighborhoods, truly impoverished whole sections of cities ignored by the rest of society is horrifying but more so because it IS true to life. They look like war zones because they ARE.

This show is gonna bother me. Which is exactly what it's supposed to do for those of us who see the world for how it is. Terribly unfair to whole groups of people while others turn a blind eye to their pain.

It's too bad we can't rate with 0.5 points because I would have given this a 7.5 but after looking at the numbers and other reviews I decided on an 8. This is a typical example of politized scoring and reviewing. This series shows and discusses the institutional racism that is present everywhere in the world and unfortunately everywhere in the police force(s). I'm Dutch, I live in Spain and lived in Italy, England, Austria and I've seen it everywhere. We can deny or ignore it, but deep down we all know it exists. But a part of the ppl get offended by this, not because it's not true, but they choose not to see it.

These series is way better than it's get credited for by the users. It's not great but aboslutely not a 6.2 the score it had when I (re)viewed it.

I am really enjoying this TV series. It's definitely binge watching material. I watched all 5 of the current episodes in the same night. With some irritation that there wasn't more episodes to watch. I'm enjoying the actors and their storyline. Great writing!!!!.
